Storyline
Featured review
Rivvaz is a good attempt to bring up an issue to the people who think we are a part of developed country with high cultural value we boast all the time.
It is about Family based prostitution where male members of the family serve as pimps to female members.
The writers have come up with a fast paced story. This must have been a difficult thing to do as the whole story is set up in just one village.
Some dialogues are really penetrating
'Rivaaz' has some melodious songs , which are no lesser than any other Hindi film's love song.
'Rivaaz' wins hearts in its message. The film does not supply any ready made solution to a long established problem, but it emphasizes on the value of self emancipation from the worldly chains. It rightly explains the reasons behind the plight of women trapped in flesh business.
The climax of the film is shot well and fits appropriately to a story which basically explores the possible way out of the prostitution business.
In spite of flaws (as every movie got), 'Rivaaz' is a film which should not be condemned for not having big star cast and better production values.
One can definitely watch the film for a story which is true for many parts of our country even today.
With a little more cinematic effort it could have turned to a landmark cinema in bollywood lately made.
Verdict: Good Cinema without big commercial value.
